Florence is home to some of the most beautiful shops in the world, and I made good use of plenty of them!

Shopping. When travelling it can be a little bit cumbersome because of a lack of suitcase space. That doesn't mean I didn't try to squeeze as much stuff into my suitcase as possible! My one must for me was a leather jacket, something I neglected to buy when I was sixteen and have regretted ever since. As long as I got that, I was pleased. I also bought myself a leather overnight bag, one that I have loved ever since I bought it. Let's just say that getting on to the plane with two carry-on bags, a handbag, and a ukulele case was interesting. Totally worth it though. If I hadn't been worrying about space, weight restrictions on planes and money, I could have bought myself so many bags.
